Visiting Argentina or Brazil.... Don't miss Iguassu!!!

2013-03-15T19:48:00.001-03:00

No trip to Argentina or Brazil would be complete without a visit to the mighty Iguassu Falls. Here, a huge volume of water rushes over a collection of nearly 300 individual waterfalls, some 1.7 miles wide, and up to 270 feet high. Upon first seeing the falls, it’s reported that first lady Eleanor Roosevelt could only say, “Poor Niagara!”

Iguassu is waiting for you!!!

Contact me and let's organize this wonderful visit...

Iguassu Falls like a Chocolate Falls

2013-03-12T21:52:00.000-03:00

Hi there... So long that I don't come over here, to share the beautiful things around Iguassu...
We are in a rainy season...now is time to have the different color at the Falls...
I always say, I can be there thousands of times, and can tell you, every day is a single day...
Every day is magic, impressive, energetic... and with chocolate you can't imagine...

But why???

Chocolate color...
The view is impressive, but not everything is good in it...

Barely four decades ago the waters of this river ran clear. Since then, with forest clearence in
most of the watershed, each time that it rains water washes away the unprotected soil which turns the river red.
Turbidity affects wildlife: fish cannot find each other to court and spawn, and birds and mammals which feed on fish cannot see their prey.
Today, the dams upriver act as sedimentation tanks and lessen the problem.

Amazing day in Iguassu

2012-10-02T09:05:00.001-03:00

In a few minutes I will be with some guests from Ohio USA...
Will show them the Argentinean Side of the Falls!!!

Natural Wonder

2012-09-22T14:47:00.002-03:00

Devil's Throat

Let your soul be satisfied

with the odd beauty of this landscape

that although the world walk in truth

you'll never find, like this, nothing.

Good and bad dynamic and changing

find here, from ist name

keep in your heart of man humble

a true and consistent message.

Meditate and feel the deep emotion

contemplating the vibrant climax

eternal mist that is circled.

And do not try to describe it in your voice

only he leans his forehead against the abyss

is the mirror of the word GOD.

Churrasco - Traditional Brazilian Dish

2012-08-13T21:37:00.000-03:00

Brazilian were the first to raise cattle in South America, imported from Cape Verde to São Paulo in the 1530s. Churrasco (pronounced shoo-RAS-koo) or Brazilian barbecue was the traditional staple food of the Gauchos or Cowboys of Southern Brazil for centuries before it spread to Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. It has become very fashionable around the world. There are called churrascaria de rodizio because waiters move from table to table bringing different types of meats on skewers from which they slice portions onto your plate.

In Foz do Iguaçu, you can try a very good Churrasco... I have been, in a very good Churrascaria this weekend, and I highly recommend to all my guests...

This place is called La Cabaña Churrascaria, it is a Rodizio Style.

Alberto Santos Dumont (July 20, 1873 - July 23, 1932)

2012-07-25T14:50:00.003-03:00

GOOGLE made a tribut to Santos Dumont on the last July 20th...

Do you know who was Santos Dumont???

He was a Brazilian aviation pioneer, who had an important contribution on the expropriation of the Iguassu Falls, which on that time (1916), belonged to the Uruguayan Farmer Mr. Jesus Val.

"The Iguassu, without any exaggeration, is a marvel!", said passionately Dumont to the newspaper O Estado de São Paulo, during his visit to Foz do Iguaçu.

In tribute to Santos Dumont it was created a square at the end of the Brazilian side of the Iguassu National Park trail, next to Porto Canoas Space, where visitors can contemplate the Statue of the Illustrious aviation pioneer with the lush Iguassu Falls in the background.

Alberto Santos Dumont, was a Brazilian aviation pioneer. The heir of a wealthy family of coffee producers, Santos Dumont dedicated himself to science studies in Paris, France, where he spent most of his adult life.

He designed, built, and flew some of the first practical dirigibles, demonstrating that routine, controlled flight was possible. This "conquest of the air" in particular his winning the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize on October 19, 1901on a flight that rounded the Eiffel Tower, made him one of the most famous people in the world during the early 20th century.

In addition to his pioneering work in airships, on 23 October 1906 Santos-Dumont, flying the 14-bisor Oiseau de proie (French for "bird of prey"), made the first flight of an airplane to be witnessed by the European press and certified by the Aéro Club de France and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).

It is different ways to see the Falls....
You can see from the Brazilian Side....
From the Argentinean Side...
From the bottom, by boat...

An unforgettable experience... the view from the top, by helicopter will show you a full panorama of each peace of this Wonder of the Nature...

If you come to Iguassu, you might feel this experience...

It is two different flights...

The long flight which takes 35'.... besides the National Park and Iguassu Falls, also takes you to the town of Foz do Iguaçu, over the Fraternity Bridge (Tancredo Neves Bridge), that links Brazil to Argentina, to the 3 Land Marks, where Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina meet, over the Friendship Bridge, that links Brazil to Paraguay, over the Itaipu Dam, one of the biggest Power Plant in the World and also one of the Wonders of the World, and of course the Expectacular Iguassu Falls... this one costs U$ 1200 the flight, taking a maximum of 4 people.

Planning UR trip to Iguassu?

2012-07-19T00:01:00.001-03:00

You've come to the right place!!!

Would like to tell you some important things...

Visa Requirements:
Iguassu Falls is between Brazil and Argentina. If you want to see both sides of the Falls you will have to abide by the VISA and Passport requirements for both countries.
To avoid troubles, it is very important to have your VISA (when required), before you leave your Country, since you are here, it takes more then a week to get a VISA, when they approve.
Remembering that besides the Iguassu Falls, we are also in a place, where you can visit Three Countries,(Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina) in case you want to visit Paraguay, take a look also if your country needs VISA.

Vaccinations:
To come to Brazil, is recommended the Yellow Fever vaccination, for people that will visit the States bellow:
Amazonas, Amapa, Macapa, Roraima, Rondonia, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará, Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, São Paulo, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Goiás and Distrito Federal.
The ones who are interested in take it, must take the vaccine ten days before getting to the risk area. The vaccine is effective and protect you for 10 years.

What to bring:

Comfortable Shoes, it is very important... no high hills (to walk through the trails) on the Falls. The walkways are quite easy, in some parts you can get wet.
Some people feel comfortable to walk on sandals, others prefer hiking shoes, I recommend the one you feel better.

Hat, for the heat is extremely important.

Sunscreen, it is forbidden to forget it.

Insect Repellent, it is not all year around that you will find mosquitoes around here, but I highly recommend this product in your luggage.

Quick drying clothes, this is a very important tip, during the summer you can sweat a lot, making your clothes wet and uncomfortable, since we are in a Subtropical Rain Forest, you can always have the chance to take a shower, when the Falls has a big volume of water, depending on the wind direction, be prepared to get wet, and also we have some tours where you will get completely wet.

Currency, around Iguassu (also known as the Triple Frontier Region), generally the Brazilian Real, the Argentinean Peso, the US Dollar and the Euro are all accepted. If you are in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, they'll take US Dollars or Brazilian Reais. It is important to say, that when you visit the Iguassu National Park on the Argentinean side you have to pay the entrance fee in Argentinean Pesos and in cash.

Length of Visit, I recommend you a minimum of 3 days, one day to explore the Brazilian side of the Falls and the different activities we have on the Park, as the Macuco Safari Boat Ride, Rafting, Rapel, have a good lunch at Porto Canoas Restaurant facing the falls, visit the Bird Park, do an Helicopter flight over the Falls, and much more. Another day to explore the Argentinean side of the Falls, that is much longer than the Brazilian part, it is also possible to do a boat ride from Argentinean side,and at night take a look on the dinner show... and why the third day? We cannot forget the Itaipu Dam, one of the biggest power plant in the world and of course depending on which hotel you will stay, it is worth to enjoy and take a rest, take a time for shopping, and get prepared for your next destination...
